oh my god. This book gives a glimpse of Greek mythology that you don't see in many books, it's truly intriguing and amazing. It truly shows that this is much more then your normal brotherly bond between two guys. A love story between an exile and a prince... thousands of emotions are tied into every chapter. I was in tears by the end of the book.

A true odyssey retelling of Achilles and Patroclus. Very gay, very heart wrenching. Lovely read with a bit of a slow start.
